From the Valkyrie to the Endless

After a while, Yu Zhen returned and brought a pot of hot tea, with a look of relief on her face: "I've read in books that the taste of Gelsemium elegans is extremely astringent, and it will have a strong fishy and bitter smell when it comes into contact with water. If you add it rashly, it will only backfire. You have to add nectar to barely suppress it."

After saying that, Yu Zhen couldn't help but confirm, "Are you really sure you can get away?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Without any hesitation, Shen Qing threw half a stalk of Gelsemium into the teapot and said resolutely: "Zhao Nuo must die today!"

The best strategy is to cut the Gordian knot quickly. Hesitating will only lead to failure.

…………

…………

After a cup of tea, Zhao Nuo suddenly rushed into the room, his expression filled with surprise and ecstasy:

"You have the Nine Secrets of Circulating Qi in the Great Circulation?!"

"Naturally there is."

Shen Qing lay on the couch, and said weakly: "I can recite the Qigong formula for you."

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Nuo waved his hand and dismissed Yu Zhen. After she left the room, he hurriedly fetched the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and said impatiently, "Memorize it!"

The peerless martial art "Nine Secrets of Circulating Qi in the Great Circulation" was lost after Shen Lie led the imperial army to destroy the Taoist ancestral temple.

Even if someone is practicing it in secret, it is an incomplete secret method. It can be said that the one in the Shen family's treasure house is the only copy in the world.

The Shen family treasure house had already been burned down by Shen Lie before the house was ransacked. This was an indescribable huge loss for the martial arts of the entire world.

"Those who circulate Qi in the heavens seek the opportunities of heaven and earth, absorb the breath of all spirits in the universe, nourish their own bodies, abandon the evils of ordinary food and meat, drink dew and eat clouds, remove filth and retain the truth..."

It was a secret book with more than 2,000 words, and it was finished quickly.

After finishing writing, Zhao Nuo put down his pen, with joy still in his eyes. While carefully reading the Taoist secret book, he subconsciously raised his hand and touched the teapot on the table.

Noticing the warmth in his hands, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

As the tea went down his throat, Zhao Nuo was slightly surprised: "This tea is quite interesting, 70% sweet and 30% bitter, with a sweet aftertaste."

"I added some honey to reduce the taste, so it's delicious, my lord."

Shen Qing smiled, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"You..." Zhao Nuo's expression froze. Just as he stood up, his feet went limp, his nose tip was burning, his eyes were blood red, and an indescribable severe pain rose from his lower abdomen.

Heartbreak grass can kill people in three breaths. According to the memory of the previous incarnation, it is one of the top ten most poisonous substances in the world. It can poison a martial arts master. Once taken, even gods cannot save you.

This poisonous grass is rare and has a very dark color. It is too obvious when dissolved in water, and a silver needle will turn black at the touch of it. It is rarely used in assassinations.

If Zhao Nuo's mind had not been completely attracted by the Taoist secret book, he would not have succeeded so easily.

Looking at Zhao Nuo lying on the ground with blood flowing from all his orifices, Shen Qing did not rush forward. He waited for a while before approaching him.

After searching Zhao Nuo's body for a while, Shen Qing found several banknotes with some small change, an iron plate symbolizing her identity as the deputy envoy of the Music Bureau, and the dagger that had cut the tendons of her hands and feet the day before.

Apart from these, there was nothing else, not even a single secret manual or treasure map of any kind.

Come to think of it, who would run around with those things?

After turning Zhao Nuo over, Shen Qing pulled out the dagger and stabbed him twice in the heart. He turned around and locked the door, then dragged his body onto the bed.

After adjusting his breathing, Shen Qing cut open Zhao Nuo's dantian and reached his hand in. Strands of internal force mixed with blood, energy and essence continuously flowed into her body from the palm of his hand.

This is an evil secret technique she found from her memory, called "Blood Exchange and Palace Transfer", which can graft other people's internal energy and blood for her own use.

The only drawback is that the internal force absorbed will gradually dissipate over time. If you want to maintain your powerful skills, you must constantly hunt for new targets.

The effect of a living person is more than twice as strong as that of a corpse, but Shen Qing obviously does not have the strength to capture Zhao Nuo alive now.

Fortunately, it was killed while hot, so the difference is not too far from that of a living person.

While doing this, Shen Qing felt unexpectedly calm. Depriving others of their lives did not make her feel any guilt, nor did she feel any pleasure.

There is an invisible scale in her heart, with her own life on one end and the world on the other.

Living a second life, her life is very precious. At least now she has not found anything that can be compared with her own life.

Therefore, even if the other side of the scale is the human world, it is still tilted at this moment.

Zhao Nuo crippled her limbs, which has seriously threatened her safety. The only outcome is life or death.

After a while, Shen Qing withdrew his hand with a satisfied look on his face. Zhao Nuo's body was almost drained dry.

She could feel that with Zhao Nuo's nourishment, her strength had undergone a subversive change, and powerful internal force was gradually filling her body.

People who practice martial arts here are divided into two realms: acquired and innate. Above the innate realm is the martial arts master. After the master, there is the martial arts grand master who is as elusive as a dragon. One person can defeat a country and can come and go freely among an army of millions.

The acquired realm is divided into nine levels. Shen Qing's internal strength has now at least reached the fourth level of the acquired realm. With every move he makes, he has the power to break tendons and bones.

According to this inference, Zhao Nuo's cultivation level during his lifetime was at least above the eighth level of the acquired realm. Being so young and having such skills, he can be considered to be extremely talented.

After calming his breath, Shen Qing wasted no time. He leaned over and gripped the dagger tightly, slashing Zhao Nuo's face from the top of his forehead. The blade then moved along the temples to his jaw, and finally returned to the place where the knife was inserted.

This was a delicate job, and Shen Qing broke out in a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Finally, she took out the red mercury that Zhao Nuo had personally delivered to her and poured it in along the incision.

After a cup of tea, she finally peeled off Zhao Nuo's mask completely.

The method of making a human skin mask is also in her memory. This face of Zhao Nuo is the key to her escape from the imperial capital.

Shen Qing had no intention of staying in the Jiaofangsi for long. The imperial capital was full of hidden talents, and there were far more than one or two martial arts masters like Zhao Sheng. It would be difficult for her to protect herself.

But once you leave the imperial capital, it's like a dragon returning to the sea, and you can go anywhere in the world.

Chapter 6 Escape

The world is vast, with eight continents and four seas. Even if there is no place to stay in the eight continents, you can always find a place to settle down in the endless islands overseas.

It shouldn't be difficult to get through these eleven years.

The production process of human skin masks is quite complicated, and the materials required are also varied. Many of the materials are unheard of by Shen Qing.

Given her current situation, it is impossible for her to make a complete mask in a short period of time. All she can do is use Zhao Nuo's face to put on makeup and disguise herself.

As long as they are 70% similar and provide a little cover, they should be able to hide the truth and escape when it gets a little dark.

After simple processing, the dough still has a faint fishy smell and feels a little sticky to the touch.

But Shen Qing no longer had time to care about these things. He put them on quickly and sat in front of the dressing mirror.

Strands of weak internal force surged up to the cheeks, supporting some of the facial muscles and at the same time firmly adhering to the human skin mask.

A lot of internal energy was consumed during this period. Without the current acquired fourth level of cultivation, it would not be easy to change one's appearance.

After making adjustments and taking a few looks, Shen Qing picked up the rouge and powder to cover the remaining marks on the forehead and corners one by one. After a while, she stopped.

The face reflected in the mirror had turned into a young man in his early twenties, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, looking a little cold, and his face was strangely pale and bloodless.

The effect of the disguise was much better than Shen Qing had imagined. It was already 80% similar to Zhao Nuo himself. If it was at night, it would be hard to mistake the fake for the real thing.

"Knock knock..."

"Master Zhao?"

A cautious inquiry came from outside the door, with a bit of uneasiness.

Shen Qing took a deep breath, opened the door, and pulled Yu Zhen into the room.

The moment she saw Shen Qing, Yu Zhen was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a half step back. It was not until she saw the skirt she was wearing clearly that she suddenly reacted, and joy welled up in her eyes:

"You can disguise yourself?!"

“I know a little bit.”

Shen Qing replied casually, climbed onto the bed again, and began to undress Zhao Nuo.

Looking at Zhao Nuo's bloody face, Yu Zhen's face turned slightly pale and she was a little scared. She dared to stand far away.

She was not afraid of blood. The tragic scene under the sky prison was far more terrifying than the scene before her. What she was afraid of now was the consequences of Zhao Nuo's death.

After carefully taking off his clothes, Shen Qing lowered his head to glance at his slightly sunken chest and frowned for a moment.

Although my predecessor was young, his development was indeed ahead of his time, which greatly affected his movements. In the end, it was still a little difficult for me to adapt.

After pondering for a few breaths, she drew out the dagger and cut off a few pieces of clean brocade from the quilt beside her.

After sheathing the knife, Shen Qing used both hands to tear open her skirt, halfway down to her waist, and holding the cut brocade, she looked back at Yu Zhen:

"Sister, help me."

Yu Zhen quickly understood what she meant, stepped forward to take the brocade, and wrapped it tightly layer by layer. She glanced at Zhao Nuo's body not far away, her hands moving non-stop, and asked softly:

"What are your plans next?"

"Let's leave the imperial capital first and then consider the future." Shen Qing shook her head slightly. She didn't know where to go for a moment.

After a moment, Shen Qing dressed Zhao Nuo neatly.

Even though she had used her inner strength to change her shape a little, her physique still looked quite different from Zhao Nuo's, and could not be hidden from the eyes of people who knew her, but there was no other way now.

"Zhao Nuo's body cannot be left here. It will soon be exposed and may even implicate you."

Shen Qing glanced at Zhao Nuo's almost dried body, raised his hand and slapped him, his internal force penetrated into his body and broke his bones.

After doing all this, she found a wooden box that was less than two feet long, rolled up Zhao Nuo like a quilt, and barely stuffed him into the box.

From beginning to end, Shen Qing never said that he wanted to take Yu Zhen away with him, and Yu Zhen never mentioned this matter.

For a woman who has no identity and has been cast into slavery, even if she leaves here and goes to the outside world, her life may not be easy. She will be homeless and it will be difficult for her to survive in this era.

Besides, the world is dangerous, Shen Qing may not be able to protect himself, let alone Yu Zhen.

Nowadays, the Jiaofangsi is the safest place for Yuzhen.

"Sister Yuzhen, please wait for me for another two years. After two years, if I am still alive, I will return to the imperial capital and rescue you."

Although he couldn't take Yu Zhen away, Shen Qing still made a promise.

In helping her poison Zhao Nuo, Yu Zhen undoubtedly took a huge risk, which was equivalent to saving her life, which was a great favor.
